Edwyn Collins has suffered a setback following that brain haemorrhage on 20 Feb. His wife, Grace Maxwell has explained on the musician's website that a second operation was necessary to deal with an infection resulting from earlier surgery. "Edwyn's infection has become problematical enough for his surgeons to decide to remove the newly replaced boneflap altogether," she wrote.
"So surgery tomorrow morning (13 Apr). This should be straightforward but I wouldn't mind you sending him your positive vibrations or whatever it is you've been doing so far just to help him on the way. It also means that at some point in the future (maybe six months) Edwyn will have a lovely titanium custom made plate."
She continued: "Anyway, we'll get this bit of setback out the way and get on with it. When asked to describe how he felt about this additional surgery his answer was 'relaxed.'"
